Through Danzig, now Gdansk, passed the greatest part of the trade that linked the West with Poland and the Baltic. This book examines the social and economic sides of this process, looking at articles of commerce and trends in urbanization, as well as patterns of poor relief and gender relations.

Since the early 1990s there has been a growing interest in gender history among Polish scholars. This study makes widely available to historians and women's studies scholars in the West a mass of information about women in Poland from the 16th to the 18th century.
